Default GM Tranny Cooler Upgrage ?'s

Just curious if any you guys have installed a GM Factory Trans cooler in a 99-06 truck that didnt come with one from the factory. Also what trucks came or didnt come from the factory with a trans cooler. Is it worth trying to go the factory setup or would it just be better to go a B&M, TCI, etc. Also what all would be required for the factory cooler swap?

Any help is much appreciated.............

Do what he said it cheaper and a lot better. I replaced my factory cooler with a larger B&M cooler. The only reason why you would purchase the factory external cooler is to get the cooler lines, but it is not necessary when installing an aftermarket cooler.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I was hoping to go with a factory looking install so I was considering buying the trans cooler lines from GM nad then just going with possibly the B&M cooler. Anyone have the GM part #'s for the tranny lines by chance. BTW Thnaks for the B&M PN # BREEZE.
